The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure Swims Into Lightning Lane Multi Pass at Hollywood Studios
Life is about to get even easier “under the sea” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Disney has confirmed that The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure will officially join the Lightning Lane Multi Pass lineup beginning September 11, 2025. Guests staying at eligible Disney Resort hotels will be able to book this fan-favorite stage show as early as August 20.

While the show debuted back in May as the splashy replacement for Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Lightning Lane access was never actually activated despite signage being in place. Until now, only Disability Access Service guests were able to use the Lightning Lane for return times. This update means everyone can finally skip the longer standby waits and secure guaranteed seating.
Here’s how it breaks down: The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure will be a tier two Lightning Lane option. That means when making selections, you can pick one headliner from tier one (like Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog Dash, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, or Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster) and then two or three additional experiences from tier two. With Mermaid added, your choices in tier two now include classics like Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, Toy Story Mania!, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, and Tower of Terror.

For those new to the system, Lightning Lane Multi Pass allows advance reservations for select attractions, with resort guests able to purchase and book up to 7 days prior to their arrival for the length of their stay (up to 14 days). Non-resort guests can purchase and book starting 3 days in advance. Pricing varies by date, with higher demand days carrying higher price tags.
This show has quickly become a guest favorite since opening on May 27. Featuring updated special effects, dazzling new musical numbers, and some returning moments that fans of the original will recognize, The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure has proven to be both a nostalgic tribute and a modern upgrade. Initially performed continuously, the show moved to scheduled performance times in June to better handle crowds.
